On Saturday, September 1, 2024, an employee of the Zoo in Neuwied was victim of a dangerous incident. Around 2:45 p.m., a white Skoda Octavia drove towards her at an excessive speed while she was in the zoo's parking lot. In order to jump out of the way in time, the 55-year-old wife had to flee, but fell and injured both knees. This frightening event not only has physical consequences for the employee, but also raises questions about traffic safety in the zoo parking lot.

The incident occurred in a place that is normally frequented by families and visitors. The Neuwied police asked the public to help you identify the driver of the Skoda and receive further information. It is unclear whether the driver has deliberately approached the employee or whether it was an unfortunate coincidence. Nevertheless, the question remains in the room how such dangerous situations can be avoided in public parking spaces.

Details of the incident

According to previous information, the incident was reported exclusively by the employee. It is unclear whether there were other witnesses who have observed the dangerous driving style of the car. The police encourage anyone who has seen the incident or can provide information about the vehicle or the driver. These communications are crucial to clarify the incident and possibly prevent other similar incidents. The condition of the injured employee is currently not known, but the medical care of the knees is certainly a top priority.

The processes in the zoo parking space raise fundamental questions about traffic safety. With the influx of visitors, especially on weekends, it is of great importance that suitable security measures are taken to ensure the safety of everyone. The police have made it clear that it will put a special focus on the dynamics of traffic accidents and that prevention has a top priority.

The Neuwied police continued to contact its press office to provide further information and continue to pursue the incident. In the case of further information, the request is to report them on 02631-878-0. Such incidents must be taken seriously in order to avoid similar incidents in the future and to provide a safe environment for all employees and visitors.
